Migration speed, timing, and long‐term shifts in age structure in North American passerines during fall migration

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Migration is challenging for birds, especially juveniles, who experience high mortality rates during migration. The challenge is exacerbated in the Anthropocene, contributing to widespread population declines. Conservation efforts focused on increasing juvenile survival could bolster population recovery.

From Populations to Programming Variables: Post‐Activation Performance Enhancement Following Isometric Contractions on Muscular Strength and Power—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 6, June 2026.
This systematic review and three‐level meta‐analysis examined the acute effects of isometric contractions as conditioning activities for post‐activation performance enhancement. The findings suggest that isometric contractions may produce a small but significant improvement in vertical jump height, whereas the evidence for muscular strength and power ...

Design of Two‐Segment Constant‐Force Compliant Mechanisms via Stiffness‐Matched Parallel Integration

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
This work presents a novel design for two‐segment constant‐force compliant mechanisms that achieve dual‐stage zero‐stiffness via stiffness‐matched parallel integration. Experimental results demonstrate constant forces of 4 N and 20 N with less than 5% variation, enabling extended operational ranges for precision applications such as robotic ...

Computational Rheo‐Hydrodynamic Analysis of Non‐Newtonian Blood Flow Through a Tilted Ellipsoidal Stenosed Vascular Segment

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Non‐Newtonian blood flow through multiple tilted ellipsoidal stenoses is numerically investigated using the DeKee‐Turcotte‐Papanastasiou model. The results reveal asymmetric velocity fields, elevated wall shear stress, significant pressure drops, and shear‐dependent thermal effects, highlighting the critical hemodynamic risks associated with eccentric ...

Exact Solutions and Nonlinear Dynamical Behavior in a Navier‐Stokes‐Type Model for Elastic Cylindrical Vessels: An Analytical and Computational Approach

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates a nonlinear Navier‐Stokes‐type model for elastic cylindrical vessels. Exact solutions are derived via the Bäcklund transformation and the ϕ6$$ {\phi}^6 $$‐expansion method, and dynamical behaviors are analyzed using bifurcation and chaos tools, revealing diverse wave structures and parameter‐dependent propagation characteristics.
